In addition to its master's and doctoral programs, the Biblical Studies area offers the Licentiate (S.T.L.) in Biblical Theology. This degree is accredited by the Holy See and is especially appropriate for clerics and those who intend to teach in ecclesiastical faculties.
The degree involves the development of appropriate methods of scientific investigation in theology, specialization in one area of theological concentration through a thesis, and a set of written and oral comprehensive examinations. All candidates must have completed a previous academic program calculated to engender a basic familiarity with the long history of Christian theological endeavors.
